Balanced performance, an ultra-luxurious interior and great safety and reliability ratings make the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a top choice among luxury cars.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is available with a myriad of engines choices, and auto writers say that even the base V6 provides plenty of power. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. The EPA says that the base E350 sedan gets 20/30 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class. Still, less powerful rivals like the BMW 528i earn better ratings. While many test drivers write that the E-Class doesn’t offer the sportiest handling in the class, they also say that few cars can match its combination of composed handling and a comfortable ride.
The Mercedese-Benz E-Class is the 2013 Best Luxury Full Size Car for Families because it has the best combination of quality, size and family-friendly features in its class.
Test drivers praise the E-Class for its clean and elegant interior styling, noting that the cabin is exceptionally-constructed with high-quality materials. Whether you choose a sedan, Coupe or Cabriolet (convertible), reviewers say that the E-Class features comfortable and supportive front seats that offer ample head- and legroom. The E-Class sedan also features a spacious and comfortable back seat, though some auto writers note that there’s less space in Coupe and Cabriolet models. The E-Class’ COMAND infotainment system is generally considered easier to use than the systems in Audi and BMW vehicles, though one test driver says that COMAND still takes some time to master. The 2013 E-Class comes standard with a sunroof and a stereo that features Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, a six-disc CD changer, HD Radio and a 7-inch display. Options and features available on higher trims include a panoramic moonroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power trunk lid, a power rear sunshade, navigation, an iPod interface, satellite radio, a Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system and a rear-seat entertainment system
